Based on identified interests and preferences, volunteers are matched with clients to provide one on one in-home social visits to seniors or adults with physical disabilities who are socially isolated. Visits typically occur once per week.
Clients will be waitlisted until a volunteer is available and an appropriate match can be made. Wait times are dependent on geographic area and client preferences.
Volunteers are not able to assist with toileting or other personal care.
